  • Ps 34:12-16 : 12 Come, my children, and listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the Lord. 13 Who is the person who desires life and loves many days to see good? 14 Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking deceit. 15 Turn away from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it. 16 The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and His ears are open to their cry.
  • Jas 1:26 : 26 If anyone thinks he is religious but does not bridle his tongue, and deceives his heart, his religion is worthless.
  • Jas 3:1-9 : 1 Not many should become teachers, my brothers, because you know that we will receive a stricter judgment. 2 For we all stumble in many ways. If anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to also control his whole body. 3 Now if we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we guide their whole bodies as well. 4 Look also at the ships: though they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are guided by a very small rudder wherever the pilot desires. 5 In the same way, the tongue is a small part of the body, yet it boasts of great things. Consider how a small fire sets a great forest ablaze. 6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of unrighteousness. The tongue is set among our members, staining the whole body, setting the entire course of life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell. 7 Every kind of animal, bird, reptile, and sea creature is tamed and has been tamed by mankind, 8 but no one can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison. 9 With it we bless the Lord and Father, and with it we curse people who are made in the likeness of God. 10 Out of the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things should not be this way.
